Sem Seabourne of Icknield Way Morris Men has developed over the years a detailed history of the tradition and notes for twelve dances as performed by the side. Roy Dommett (RD) held instructionals during the 1970’s and his teaching was incorporated into the IWMM’s repertoire at that time by Joe Marns and largely remains that way. There have been developments in the hand clapping, variations to the Black Joke interpretation and stamping during some of the sticking seems to have developed naturally. The notes are available in pdf format here > The Morris in Stanton Harcourt or from Icknield Way's on-line shop
